It’s that time again…#fridaybiztip time that is!

In order to help all the lovely Saskatoon businesses thrive online, we started the #fridaybiztip. Our goal is to give you guys an online tip every Friday (or at least most) for you to hum and haw over the weekend. January seems to be a month focused on colour. Or maybe that’s just how we combat this bland, snowy, white season?

Fact: in a small business setting, resources to hire in-house marketers or designers are, often times, not realistic. We get that.

But don’t worry! There is help! We have already told you about awesome tools like Canva and ColorZilla to help you along the way with your design work. But we still have one more up our sleeve!
